> US President Donald Trump says he discussed boosting global diesel supplies with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He said Russia would provide more than 300,000 tonnes immediately, followed by 500,000 in November, then 1 million and 3 million. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the deal as “an investment in war”. Al Jazeera’s Manuel Rapalo says it could be significant as fuel prices soar ahead of the midterms.
